In the past I always used slideshare to share some of my slide decks onto my blog or other places. Now I’ve discovered that there is an easy way to do it using the sydrive and web apps service from Microsoft.

How will we use this is in the future? First of all we created a TechNet  skydrive (account) and upload all our livemeeting slide decks onto this. Once this is done we can start sharing not only the plain files but also embedding this into our blogs.

How can you do this?

Step 1 Open your skydrive account upload a deck or select the deck that you want to embed.

Step 2 Embed the slide deck into your blogpost.

Once you selected the slide deck you need to click on Embed (see image on the left)

The following window will then appear. Here you click on generate HTML.

Step 3 Copy the html code into your blogpost.

This will be the result in your blog.

New world of Datacenter: Managing your IAAS Private cloud with System Center
30 November 2011
Timing 14:00 – 15:30 | Type Live Webcast | Language English

Abstract
The move to private clouds is part of the evolution of the data center, from a basic warehouse of information to a smarter, more agile delivery of services. Data centers started out as self-contained entities and grew into something complex as you added server after server after server. Virtualization has consolidated the physical server layer, helping companies save on real estate, power and cooling costs. But it creates a new challenge – managing all of the physical and virtual servers. It has become harder to manage what you cannot physically reach out and touch. To help you manage that infrastructure we need to move to the New world of Datacenter and we will explain what it takes to do that.

Speaker Kenny Buntinx

Microsoft Virtualization Technology (Part 2) is the third topic that we're diving into this summer. You can expect one last topic by mid-August on the 'Best of TechDays 2011'. So keep an eye on your mailbox and dive into TechNet this summer!

Find all the information here !

And of course: enjoy your holiday!

The TechNet Belux Team

PS. Don't forget to take the quiz and win!

We're giving our TechNet newsletters a holiday feeling with four different topics in a bite-size format. The second topic of this summer edition is about Desktop Deployment.
Desktop deployment involves much more than just, say, migrating from Windows XP to Windows 7. In fact it's mainly about managing your desktop and application infrastructure effectively. This is where you'll find information about defining an optimized desktop and why a properly managed desktop has a good TCO.
We'll also be looking at the new tools in MDOP (Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack) and, of course, how to use the cloud with Windows Intune.
The following topics are covered:

• Application Compatibility
• Office 2010 Deployment - Office 365
• Desktop Optimization Pack
• Windows 7 Deployment
• Internet Explorer 9
• Windows Intune

Dive into Microsoft virtualization technology this summer

During the summer we all have a little more time to immerse ourselves in something new and enjoyable. This is why we will be serving you up with such a refreshing cocktail of new things to enjoy in 4 special issues of the TechNet newsletter that you won't be able to resist and dive straight in.
How does it work? There's a short introductory video, after which you have the chance to learn more about the topic at hand, depending on the time you have available or want to spend on it: half an hour, half a day or a full day. That way you can explore the presentation content to suit your personal timetable.
Because Microsoft has a virtualization strategy that will help you to virtualize your Data Center & Desktop in the Cloud, the following topics are included in part 1:

• Server Virtualization
• Desktop Virtualization

Find out now what content we and the TechNet team have selected for you.
In part 2 we'll be looking at what the virtualization management tools are, as well as what "Private Cloud" computing means for Microsoft.

Yesterday my colleague Katrien De Graeve learnt me something in PowerPoint. After years of creating slide decks I finally get the ultimate tip that will and could have saved me tons of time. Thanks Katrien for sharing this.

What is this? Well how many times have you created an additional slide because of animations… let me show you a screenshot and you will understand what I mean.

How the hell can you change the text in one of the textboxes. One workaround could be create a new slide for each textbox you want to show. Or like me put all textboxes aside and when it’s final put them on top of each other, not the best way to do this. I tend to agree, but until yesterday and after that I created the slide as seen above (which took me 1 hour) Katrien gave me ultimate solution.

Use the “Selection and Visibility” feature

With this feature you work in lets say layers, you can hide objects (see above) and adapt them as needed, don’t forget to unhide everything before you want to present.

Where can you find this option? In the Ribbon go to “Select” and click on “Selection Pane”

The selection pane will become visible and you will be able to hide any textbox in the slide.

This tip will save me and hopefully you many hours of work in PowerPoint.
